In a saucepan, bring the water, tea leaves, anise, cloves, and cardamom to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat; cover; let sit for 1 hour to steep.
Meanwhile, make a simple brown sugar syrup by whisking together the water and brown sugar in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
In a large pot, cook the pearls according to package directions. This took 5 minutes.
Strain the pearls; rinse under cold water to stop the cooking; transfer to the syrup container.
Once the tea has steeped, place a sieve over a mason jar; strain the tea into the jar; add the vanilla extract; stir to combine.
Assembly: add some sweetened condensed milk to a cup; add the pearls, ice, milk, and tea concentrate; stir.
Serve immediately.
